1. Customer Engineer:
When assigned to an account, you will be involved in all phases of project,
including installation, configuration and on-going maintenance. New employees
are initially teamed with senior engineers for 4-6 months in order to obtain
a feel for the work environment - then you will be sent for official training.
At this level, you are considered "hourly wage" employees and
are represented by the union. The projected growth in this area for his
division will be 25%-30% in the following year.
2. Application Engineer: Post-sale division. Responsible for long-term problems or upgrading customers' site. 3. Pre-Sales Engineer: Ascertain customer requirements, design and implementation of commercial networks. | |

They are evaluating your response to determine problem solving skills as well as how you will interact with customer and peers. Be thoughtful and poised, don't fidget and don't take to-o-ooo long to respond. | |
